Sex Ratio among the Masters of Arts. The ratio of men to women among 

 the persons on whom the A.M. degree has been conferred changed mater- 

 ially during the war. There were from 2.8 to 4.6 men to one woman among 

 those receiving the degree Master of Arts, between 1908 and 1915. Between 

 1916 and 1919 the ratio dropped rapidly. 



In 1918 the number of men and women was equal and in 1919 there were 

 more women than men. Among the persons on whom the degree was con- 

 ferred in June and October, 1920, the ratio was 2.44 men to each woman, 

 nearly the average ratio. The increase in the ratios of men to women in 

 1920 was due in part to an increase in men and in part to a decrease in the 

 number of women candidates for the degree. There were fewer women 

 candidates than at any time since 1911.
